specifications when installing) - Ambient temperatures: 0 to +50 °C (It varies according to models when installing the unit in a horizontal orientation or using a C-NET adapter and FP programmer II.) - Ambient humidity: 20 to 85% RH (at 25 °C, non-condensing) - For use in pollution Degree 2 environment - Do not use it in the following environments. - Direct sunlight, wind and rain. (This product is not designed for outdoor use.) - Sudden temperature changes causing condensation. - Inflammable or corrosive gas. - Excessive airborne dust, metal particles or saline matter. - Benzine, paint thinner, alcohol or other organic solvents or strong alkaline solutions such as ammonia or caustic soda. - Direct vibration, shock or places always exposed to drop of water. (This unit is warranted by IP65 (IP67 for GT12) for panel mounting, however, this applies to initial values.) - Influence from power transmission lines, high voltage equipment, power cables, power equipment, radio transmitters, or any other equipment that would generate high switching surges. (100 mm or more) Static electricity - Do not touch connector pins directly to prevent static electricity from causing damage. - Always rid yourself of any static electricity before handling this product. - If excessive estatic electricity is applied to the panel surface, the LCD display unit may be damaged. Power supply - Twist the wires of the power supply. - The unit has sufficient noise immunity against the noise generated on the power line. However, it is recommended to take measures for reducing noise such as using an isolating transformer before supplying the power. And it is recommended to take measures such as installing a ferrite core. - Allocate an independent wiring for each power supplying line, PLC etc and operating device. - If using a power supply withoug a protective circuit, power should be supplied through a protective element such as fuse. Directly applying an abnormal voltage to the unit may cause the damage to the internal circuit. Touch-panel - Always operate the touch switch with fingers. As the touch switch may be damaged due to the excessive load or shock (caused when being operated with any tools), the touch switch should be operated within the specified control force. Also, if the touch swich is pressed like kneading, the electrode may be worn out exceptionally, and cause the malfunction. Operate with a single touch of the switch. - Do not drop or have a strong impact on the programmable display unit as glass is used for the LCD panel. - The liquid in the LCD panel is a hazardous substance. If the LCD panel is broken, do not put the leaked crystalline liquid into your mouse. Should it get into your mouse, immediately gargle, and consult a doctor. If it adheres to your skin or clothes, wash it away with soap. - There is a case that shadows appear in the place on the screen of the GT where no graphic or part is arranged. (The shadows appear as the extension of the characters, graphics or parts actually being displayed.) This is a phenomenon resulting from the basic characteristics of liquid crystal devices, and called cross talk. Battery Do not leave the battery in the unit when it is not used. There is a possibility of leak if it is left being discharged. i Manuals to be Used - The manuals to be used for GT series are common to all the models.

As the GT series is a small and thin-shaped body, it can be installed in a small space. Also, as the projecting part from a wall surface is 4 mm, it looks neat after installation. The GT01, GT11, GT12 and GT21 can be installed in vertical orientation. Number of colors can be selected as usage. GT series Number of colors GT21C 256 colors GT30C 16 colors GT32T0/GT32T1/GT05S 4096 colors Monochrome 8 gradation display function is available. (GT12) The monochrome 8-gradation display can be selected as well as the existing monochrome 2-gradation display, so that the screen can be displayed finely. Easily shows a current state changing the backlight on the monochrome type. For the monochrome type (3-color LED backlight type), changing in the backlight color makes it easy to grasp a current state at a glance. "Green, orange, red" type and "White, red, pink" type is available for the 3-color LED backlight type. Analog touch panel provided (except GT30)) As an analog touch panel is provided, it allows maximum flexibility in the switch layout and size. Screens can be created easily, using a special screen creation tool Terminal GTWIN. Screen contents can be easily created using the dedicated Terminal GTWIN tool. Screens are put together simply by selecting parts from libraries and positioning them in place. Various parts for numerous applications are provided such as 256-color 3D parts. Screen data of the other models can be used with the model conversion function. Screen data can be converted from the low-resolution model to high-resolution model, e.g. from GT01 to GT11, from GT21 to GT32. The communication methods support RS232C/RS422 (RS485) The communication methods to PLCs support RS232C/RS422(RS485). Also it can be connected to PLCs manufactured by other companies. Structure adapted to surrounding environments IP65. It has a dust-proof, waterproof and drop-proof structure. (IP67 for GT12) High-intensity LED provided (LED backlight type) As the high-intensity LED is provided, the screen is bright, and the backlight does not need to be replaced. 1-2 Through function is convenient for debugging A convenient “through” function makes it possible to transfer data from the GT and carry out PLC debugging at the same time that communication is going on between the GT and the FP series PLC. This significantly boosts efficiency in the workplace. For TOOL port models For USB port/Ethernet port models New functions can be available by upgrading the GT. (except GT30) The GT can be easily upgraded by donwloading the latest firmware from our website or using the GT Ver_UP tool. 1-3 Security Function - Password protection function A password (max. 8 characters) is specified for trasferring the screen data to GT from GTWIN. This function prevents the outflow of screen data if anyone except the administrator tries to read out the screen data. - Operation security function (GT05, GT12, GT32) This function is used to limit the contents of displays and operations by setting the security level of users for each part. The level of operators are managed with the security password. GT link function (GT05, GT12, GT32) This function is used to connect multiple GT units (up to 32 units) to a single PLC (Panasonic FP series). RS485 communication is used. Note) Station numbers should be set to the connected GT units. The both settings for GT and PLC are necessary. PLC Multiple Connection (GT05, GT12, GT32) This is a function that enables multiple Panasonic PLCs (FP series) (up to 31 units) to be connected with one GT. Communication is performed via RS485. 1-4 Logging function (GT05, GT12, GT32) It is a function to collect and log arbitrary device values into a PLC at a constant period or when conditions are met. Logged data is saved in a SD memory card inserted in this unit in CSV format. This function is useful for obtaining the history of data. 1.2 About Power Supply for GT01 5 V DC Type Power can be supplied to the GT01 5 V type with only one communication cable. The power is supplied from the TOOL port of a PLC, therefore, the wiring man-hours can be significantly reduced. Applicable models: Panasonic FP series Mitsubishi Electric Corporation FX series 1-5 1.3 How to Switch Screens There are three ways to switch screens registered in the GT. 1.3.1 Setting from PLC Ladder Program The screens can be switched by writing to the “basic communication area” from the PLC ladder program. How communication is carried out between the GT and PLC (screen switching) How screens are switched 1.3.2 Setting Function Switching Parts by GTWIN The screens can be switched on the GT by using the “function switching parts” provided in the parts library of the GTWIN that has a function to switch the screens. These parts should be arranged on the base screen and assigned the attributes indicated below. Using the “Change Screen” operation mode The screen number to be changed can be specified for the function switch by selecting the “Change screen” operation mode. Press the switch part to switch the screen to the specified screen. To return to the screen displayed just prior to the currently displayed screen, the “Return to Previous Screen” operation mode can be used. 1-6 Using the “Value Set” operation mode Select the “Value Set” operation mode and enter the following settings: - Data format : Specify 1 word - Output destination : Specify to first word of basic communication area/word device - Value : Number of screen to be changed to (hexadecimal specification) Each time the GT switch part is pressed, the screen number is forcibly written by the GT to the first word of the basic communication area/word device, and the screen is switched. Reference: <GTWIN Manual ACGM0357V**EN> <GTWIN HELP> 1.3.3 Setting Auto-paging Function by GTWIN The GT man unit has an “Auto-paging” function in the configuration setting that automatically switches the screen to a specified screen number when a certain period of time has elapsed. This function can be used to switch screens automatically. (1) The screen number 1 is changed to the screen number 2 after 10 seconds. (2) The screen number 2 is changed to the screen number 3 after 5 seconds.

Usage conditions Operating environment (Use the unit within the range of the general specifications when installing) - Ambient temperatures: 0 to +50 °C (It varies according to models when installing the unit in a horizontal orientation or using a C-NET adapter and FP programmer II.) - Ambient humidity: 20 to 85% RH (at 25 °C, non-condensing) - For use in pollution Degree 2 environment - Do not use it in the following environments. - Direct sunlight, wind and rain. (This product is not designed for outdoor use.) - Sudden temperature changes causing condensation. - Inflammable or corrosive gas. - Excessive airborne dust, metal particles or saline matter. - Benzine, paint thinner, alcohol or other organic solvents or strong alkaline solutions such as ammonia or caustic soda. - Direct vibration, shock or places always exposed to drop of water. (This unit is warranted by IP65 (IP67 for GT12) for panel mounting, however, this applies to initial values.) - Influence from power transmission lines, high voltage equipment, power cables, power equipment, radio transmitters, or any other equipment that would generate high switching surges. (100 mm or more) Static electricity - Do not touch connector pins directly to prevent static electricity from causing damage. - Always rid yourself of any static electricity before handling this product. - If excessive estatic electricity is applied to the panel surface, the LCD display unit may be damaged. Power supply - Twist the wires of the power supply. - The unit has sufficient noise immunity against the noise generated on the power line. However, it is recommended to take measures for reducing noise such as using an isolating transformer before supplying the power. And it is recommended to take measures such as installing a ferrite core. - Allocate an independent wiring for each power supplying line, PLC etc and operating device. - If using a power supply withoug a protective circuit, power should be supplied through a protective element such as fuse. Directly applying an abnormal voltage to the unit may cause the damage to the internal circuit. Touch-panel - Always operate the touch switch with fingers. As the touch switch may be damaged due to the excessive load or shock (caused when being operated with any tools), the touch switch should be operated within the specified control force. Also, if the touch swich is pressed like kneading, the electrode may be worn out exceptionally, and cause the malfunction. Operate with a single touch of the switch. - Do not drop or have a strong impact on the programmable display unit as glass is used for the LCD panel. - The liquid in the LCD panel is a hazardous substance. If the LCD panel is broken, do not put the leaked crystalline liquid into your mouse. Should it get into your mouse, immediately gargle, and consult a doctor. If it adheres to your skin or clothes, wash it away with soap. - There is a case that shadows appear in the place on the screen of the GT where no graphic or part is arranged. (The shadows appear as the extension of the characters, graphics or parts actually being displayed.) This is a phenomenon resulting from the basic characteristics of liquid crystal devices, and called cross talk. 3-2 3.1.2 Restriction According to Mounting Directions If the unit is being installed in a horizontal orientation, or our Programmer II and C-NET adaptor are being connected to the TOOL port, note that the ambient usage temperature should be as below.

If the GT is installed upside down, the screen will be upside down. - The allowable ambient temperature for GT11 is different. (Ambient temperature: 0 to 45 °C) Key Point: Select the vertical type when selecting a GT model in GTWIN. 3.1.12 Precaution When reinstalling GT When the GT is reinstalled after being removed from the panel, the water-proof packing should be replaced. Reference: <3.5 Water-proof Packing> 3-7 3.2 Wiring the Power Supply 3.2.1 Wiring the Power supply The power supply should be wired by securely connecting the terminal on the rear of the main unit to the terminal. Use twisted wiring for the power supply In order to minimize influence from noise, the wiring for the power supply should be twisted. Insulate the power supply inside a protective circuit • In order to protect the unit against abnormal voltage from the power supply line, the power supply should be an insulated type, and should be enclosed within a protective circuit. • A non-insulated requlator is used witht the GT series. • If a power supply device without an internal protective circuit is being used, power should always be supplied to the GT series through a fuse or a similar protective device. Keep the power supply voltage within the operating voltage range Rated voltage Operating voltage range 5 V DC 4.5 to 5.5 V DC 24 V DC 21.6 to 26.4 V DC Keep the power supply wiring separate • Wiring to the GT series, PLC, and other power equipment should have separate wiring systems. 3-8 3.2.2 Grounding (24 V DC Type Only) Be sure to ground when the influence of noise is great The unit is tolerant against noise in normal environments, but if the environment is particularly susceptible to noise, please ground. Use dedicated grounding • For grounding purposes, use wires with a minimum of 2 mm2. The grounding connection should have a resistance of less than 100 Ω. • Make the grounding point as close as possible to the GT and keep the distance of the grounding wire short. • Sharing the ground with another device may have an adverse effect. Therefore, be sure that grounding is dedicated. Note: Conversely, depending on your environment, grounding may cause a problem. Example: Since the power line of the GT unit is connected to a functional earth via electronic parts, the electronic parts may become damaged if there is an abnormal potential between the power line and the physical ground. Do not ground the function earth when grounding a plus (+) terminal of the power. (exclusing GT32, GT12 and GT05) In some computers, the SG terminal of RS232C port and connector shielding are connected. Also the tool port shielding is connected with the function earth terminal. Therefore, the GND terminal and the function earth terminal are connected if the computer is connected. Especially when the GT is connected to a computer with a plus (+) terminal grounded, therefore, an GT’s minus (-) terminal is connected with the function earth terminal. As a result, short circuit occurs which may lead to the breakage of GT and its neighboring parts. 3-9 3.3 Wiring the COM Port Accessory communication connector/applicable wiring The communication connector used for the COM port (provided as an accessory with the main unit) has a screw-tightening type of terminal block. The wiring shown below should be used. Applicable wiring (twisted wiring) Size Conductor cross-section surface area AWG #28 to 16 0.08 to 1.25 mm2 Use a special tool to tighten the terminal block of the communication connector. Using a screwdriver made by Panasonic Electric Works Co., Ltd. (Product number: AFP0806). The tightening torque should be 0.22 to 0.3 N· m or less.

Do not mix more than 1 type. • When using shielded cable with crossover wiring for the RS485 transmission line, grounded one end. 3-10 Wiring method (1) Remove the sheath from the wire. (2) Insert the wire all the way into the terminal block, and tighten the screw in the clockwise direction to secure it. Precautions concerning wiring The following precautions should be observed, to avoid broken or disconnected wires. • When removing the sheath, be careful not to scratch the core wire. • Wire the terminal without twisting the core wire. • The core wire should be connected without soldering it. Vibration can sometimes cause soldered connections to break loose. • After connecting the wiring, avoid subjecting the cable to stress. • Because of the construction of the terminal, tightening the wire in the counterclockwise direction will cause a faulty connection. If this happens, disconnect the wire, check the terminal hole, and connect the wire again.

Connecting to the FP2 computer communication unit (CCU) 4-38 4.6 Connection With a PLC 4.6.1 Automatic Communication Settings Function After turning on the power supply, if there is not response from the PLC connected to the GT, the GT switches to the automatic setting mode for the communication conditions. In the automatic setting mode, commands are sent to the PLC while changing the communication conditions in the sequence shown below. The GT, in automatic setting mode, continues to repeat steps to until there is a response from the PLC. While it is repeating there steps, it is in the “Standby” mode under “Configuration” → “Communication Parameters” → “Handle Communication Error” on GTWIN. Reference: For the information on the setting method, <Chapter 5 GT Configuration Settings> Explanation of this function: - Conditions when the automatic settings mode is in effect If communication is attempted the specified number of times and there is no response from the PLC, the GT goes into the automatic settings mode. The number of attempts is specified using the “No. of Retries” parameter under “GT Configuration” → “Communication Parameters” → “Handle Communication Error” on GTWIN. - Automatically set communication conditions In the automatic settings mode, if there is a response from the PLC, subsequent communication is carried out under conditions matching the response. The main unit configuration settings are not updated, however, even if the communication parameters are different from those of the main unit configuration settings. Note: - An error response from the PLC is taken as a response, and the GT does not go into the automatic settings mode. - If the unit is connected to the COM port of the FP0/FP1/FP2/FP2SH/FP-M, communication between the FP device and the PLC will not be possible if the target usage of the RS232C port has not been set to “Computer Link”. Always set the setting on the PLC side to match “Computer Link”. - The automatic communication settings function cannot be used for the communcation at 230400 bps on the GT01, GT11 or GT21. 4-39 4.6.2 Through Function With the GT series, communication can be set to take place automatically between the COM port of a GT and TOOL port of a PLC in a “through function”. When the FP series tool software installed in the computer connected to the GT series as shown below is booted, PLC programs can be edited through the GT series. The through function does not require any special settings, and is always in the standby mode. For TOOL port type For USB port type 4-40 Note: • Precautions when using the through function The system should be set up so that the Timeout period in the FP series software (FPWIN) (A) is larger than the waiting time for communication retries of the GT COM port (B), meaningn (A) > (B). If the system is set up so that A = B or A < B, the through function will not work properly. When the baud rate of the GT TOOL port is 230400 bps, the through function cannot be used. Communicate at 115200 bps or lower for using the throught function. • For the USB port type, the OS installed in the connected computer must be Windows®2000 or later. • Restrictions on COM port connections When connecting the GT01 to the COM port of a PLC, a separate external supply must be provided. • When using the FP programmer II An FP Programmer II cannot be connected to the tool port of the GT01. It can be connected to the GT11, GT21 and GT30. The GT32 cannot be connected to the FP programmer II as it is connected with USB or Ethernet. 4-41 4.6.3 How to Make Communication Settings Using the FPWIN GR Please read below to make PLC communication settings using the FPWIN GR. 1.

Communication between the GT and PLC is carried out as shown below. As shown in the illustration, communication is carried out on an ongoing basis between the GT and internal devices in the PLC. Internal PLC devices are divided into the following two devices: Basic communication area This area is for system control, such as screen switching settings. PLC devices belong to this area on a fixed basis, and communication is constantly being carried out. Breakdown of the basic communication area - Word device: For reading devices handled in word units (3 consecutive words) - Bit device: For reading devices handled in bit units (3 consecutive words) References and output devices for parts These are devices that are used in parts functions, and can be freely specified by the user. Communication is carried out on an ongoing basis only for those that are currently displayed on the screen and pertain to devices currently in use. With the GT, before GTWIN screen creation tool is used to specify the devices for parts functions, the “basic communication area” must be determined. DT0 to DT2 and WR0 to WR2 are set as the default values for the basic communication area, but the initial address can be changed using the following procedure. Note: The basic communication area should be used in the PLC ladder program to control the GT. Reference: <5.2.1 Configuration Settings in “GTWIN”> 5-41 5.4.2 Basic Communication Area Map In order for communication to be carried out between the GT and PLC, an internal device area like that shown below is provided in the PLC. This should be used to control the GT through the PLC ladder program actually being run. The starting address “N” of the field shown below is specified in the GT configuration settings of GTWIN screen creation tool, and is then sent to the GT. Word devices Word position F E D C B A 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 N+0 Screen No. specified by PLC (area read by GT from PLC) N+1 Usage prohibited N+2 No. of currently displayed screen (area in which data is written from GT to PLC) Explanation of system area Screen No. specified by PLC: No. of currently displayed screen: The screen number specified on the GT is specified from the PLC in hexadecimal format.

This basic communication area contains two types of devices: word devices, which are used to handle screen numbers and other data, and bit devices, which are used for bit information. The various bits of the bit devices are turned on and off from the PLC, and can be used to control various GT operations. Changing the backlight color For monochrome type Bits A and B of the first word of the bit device are used to change the backlight color. The color of the backlight can be changed by turning these bits on and off. To make these settings valid, howeve, Bit D (Backlight Valid flag) must always be turned on at the same time.

These bits can be changed to change the backlight illumination status. To make these settings valid, however, Bit D (Backlight Valid flag) must always be turned on at the same time. Bit status Backlight color B A OFF OFF Off OFF ON Lighted ON OFF ON ON Using a flashing backlight Bit C of the first word of the bit device is used to make the backlight flash. The backlight status can be changed by turning this bit on and off. To make this setting valid, however, Bit D (Backlight Valid flag) must always be turned on at the same time. Bit status Backlight color C OFF Lighted ON Flashing Making the buzzer sound Bit F of the first word of the bit device is used to make the buzzer sound. The buzzer status can be changed by turning this bit on and off. Bit status Buzzer status F OFF Stopped ON Buzzer output Data Input in Progress flag With the GT, while data is being input from the screen keyboard part, Bit 0 of the third word of the bit device is on. Applications should be set up so that, when this bit is on, the screen cannot be chagned from the PLC. Reference: <Basic Communication Area Maps for each GT models> 5-45 5-46 Chapter 6 GT Link Function 6-1 6.1 Features GT link function is a function that enables more than one GT to connect with one PLC. Usable GT - GT05 Ver.1.1 or later - GT12 Ver.1.0 or later - GT32 Ver.1.2 or later Usable PLC - FP-X, FP-X Communication cassette, AFPX-COM3, AFPX-COM4, AFPX-COM6 - FPΣ, FPΣ Communication cassette, AFPG803, AFPG806 - FP2/FP2SH, FP2-MCU, FP2 Communication block AFP2805 Features - It enables GT to connect with a PLC without communication program. (Setting station numbers is required on the PLC.) - A maximum of 32 GT units can be connected to 1-ch RS485 of one PLC. (PLC side: Computer link) (As the connected units increases, the response speed gets slower. Recommended number of units: 4 units) - A setting for exclusively using communication with a PLC to change settings or perform the through function on GT is available. - Priority can be selected for updating the disaply parts such as lamp and message parts, or for operating switches. - The through function can be used from one GT in a GT link. Reference: <Chapter 6 GT Link> 6-2 6.2 Priority Operation Mode 6.2.1 Token Passing Method The connected GT communicates using a token passing method. The communication is as follows. With the GT link function, GT units communicate with a PLC passing a token (right to communication with a PLC) between them sequentially. There are two methods for the passing order, which are the "setting to give priority to the display of each GT" (Display priority) and "setting to give priority to the operation of each GT" (Operation priority). When the GT that has received the token completes necessary communication with the PLC, it will pass the token to the next GT. Passing the token is performed from the unit with the smallest station number in ascending order. (Wiring GT units is not necessary in the order of station numbers.) 6.2.2 Display Priority The GT performs all the communication necessary for updating the screen with the PLC, and passes the token to the next GT. As the number of token passing is a few, updating displays becomes faster. This setting is recommended when using the GT mainly as a monitor screen. 6-3 6.2.3 Operation Priority The GT pass the token to the next GT every time it performs one communication with the PLC necessary for updating the screen. As the time from passing the token until the next GT receives it is short, the response in the operation is faster. This setting is recommended when using the GT mainly as a operation panel. Note: Use all connected GT units in the same priority mode. If more than one mode are used, the "Priority Mode" setting has no effect. 6-4 6.3 Exclusive Communication With PLC This is a setting enables one GT to exclusively communicate with the PLC by setting not to pass the token to the next GT for acertain period of time. As other GT units than the GT communicating with the PLC do not communicate, there is no time lag. Note) When the PLC is used exclusively by a GT, other GT units cannot communicate with the PLC. Setting for Exclusive Communication with PLC The setting is made from the following 3 items. - GT exclusive area in the control device area - Exclusive communication with PLC when operating touch switch - Momentary switch operation Reference: For information on the setting of control device area, <6.4.3 Control Device Area> Note: When using an alarm list and line graph Although the alarm list and line graph can be used, data may not be displayed properly if there is a GT exclusively communicating with a PLC or the timing of communication is not right. 6.3.1 Exclusive Communication With PLC When Operating Touch Switch The GT can exclusively communicate with a PLC for a certain period of time after touching an operable part on the screen. The GT starts to count the occupied time when the finger was released from the touching part. Operable part on the screen Type Switch Function switch Custom switch Data part Alarm list part (including guidance) Keyboard part Condition When a valid condition is not set or when a valid condition is set When setting to "Input" - When setting "Exclusive time after operation" to 10 seconds Note) Specify a longer exclusive time if the interval between the touch operations takes long. (It can be set in the range of 1 to 255 seconds. * Default is 10 seconds.) If the screens of more than one GT are touched simultaneously, the GT that firstly receives the token will communicate. Other GT units cannot communication with the PLC. 6-5 6.3.2 Momentary Switch Operation Touching the momentary switch turns on a output device, and releasing the hand from the switch turns off the output device. However, with the GT link function, the output device cannot be turned off until the GT receives the token even if the hand released from the switch. Therefore, make the setting to enable exclusive communication with PLC when turning on the output device, and to simultaneously turn off the output device when releasing the hand from the switch. "Exclusive communication with PLC when pressing momentary switch" The GT communicates with the PLC exclusively when turning on the output device to enable the output device to be simultaneously turned off when releasing the hand from the switch. The output device turns on when the momentary switch is on and the GT has received the token. When releasing the hand from the switch, the output device will be off and the token will be passed to the next GT. Note) While the GT is communicating the PLC exclusively, the communication between other GT units and the PLC stops. However, it is possible to transmit information on the on/off-state to the PLC quickly. "No exclusive communication with PLC" Although the momentary switch is on, the GT does not communicate with PLC exclusively. The output device turns on when the momentary switch is on and the GT has received the token, and the token will be passed to the next GT. The output device will turn off when releasing the hand from the switch and the GT receives the token again. Note) Although the communication between other GT units and the PLC does not stop, there will be the time lag of turning off the output device. Key Point: The momentary switch operation setting can be also used when two kinds of settings are specified on more than one GT. 6.3.3 "Display Message in Stand-by Mode" Touching a part on the GT that has no token makes the GT be in the standby state. If touching the parts more in the standby state, a message "Please wait" appears. (The first touch operation is memorized in the GT. The GT activates when it has received the token, however, it does not activate by the second touch operation or later. ) Note: The message "Please wiat" disappears in about 2 seconds. 6-6 6.4 Settings 6.4.1 Communication Parameters Item Setting Baud rate 115200 bps Data bit 8 Stop bit 1 Parity Odd Note) Communication is not established with any other settings. 6.4.2 Station Numbers Various GT units are recognized by assigning station numbers to each of them. (No. 0 to 31) Station number setting Specify station numbers consecutively from number 0. Note) The same number cannot be specified for more than one GT. [Example] When connecting three GT units, specify the station numbers with 0 to 2. (Wiring with the PLC is not necessarily done from the station number 0.) Note: - When the same station number is specified for more than one GT, GT link communicaiton cannot be established. - If the specified station numbers are not consecutive numbers, the startup speed gets slower. 6-7 6.4.3 Control Device Area Each station number corresponds to each bit in the control device area of GT link. Setting the designation area on the PLC enables to control the state of GT link for every station number. Also, the states of GT link for every station number can be checked by monitoring the monitor area on the PLC side. Control device (8-word area is used.) Key Point: Use the device hold area in the PLC for the control device area. Connected GT area - Connected GT designation area: The bit corresponding to the GT to communicate is turned on on the PLC. Note) This area must be specified on the PLC. - Connected GT monitor area: The state of the GT that is properly communicating can be monitored. ON: Can communicate OFF: No communication Exclusive GT area - Exclusive GT designation area: Turning on the bit for the designated station number enables the GT with its station number to communicate with PLC exclusively. - Exclusive GT monitor area: The bit for the station number of GT that exclusively communciates with PLC turns on. Monitoring this area shows which GT exlusively communicates with the PLC.

Connected GT monitor area N+2 (Station numbers 0 to 15 correspond to bits 0 to 15 of N+2 word, and station numbers 16 N+3 to 31 correspond to bits 0 to 15 of N+3 word.) Exclusive GT designation area N+4 (Station numbers 0 to 15 correspond to bits 0 to 15 of N+4 word, and station numbers 16 N+5 to 31 correspond to bits 0 to 15 of N+5 word.) Exclusive GT monitor area N+6 (Station numbers 0 to 15 correspond to bits 0 to 15 of N+6 word, and station numbers 16 N+7 to 31 correspond to bits 0 to 15 of N+7 word.) Note: Do not write anything in the connected GT monitor area and exclusive GT monitor area as they are controlled by GT. [Example] Sample program using the control device WR20 and station numbers 0 to 3 6-8 6.5 Connection with PLC 6.5.1 Wiring of Power Supply It takes more than 5 seconds for all GT units to be operable after turning on the power supply of GT. (The time varies according to conditions and the number of connected GT units.) As for the power supply of GT, it is recommended to use the wiring that enables multiple GT units to be simultaneously turned on. If the power supplies of multiple GT units cannot be simultaneously turned on after turning on the power supply of devices such as a PLC, an error message will be displayed and it may take some time to make communication to be established.

As there is a GT that cannot communicate, it takes some time for transferring the token and the baud rate for the whole system gets slower. Turn the bit corresponding to the station number of the faulty GT off in the connected GT designation area. As communication is performed without transferring the token to the GT that the corresponding bit is off, it has no effect on the baud rate. Key Point: If the station number 2 of a normal GT is turned off, "**2000" will be displayed on this GT. 6-21 6.8.2 Error Codes Code No. Content Cause and solution **2000 Connected GT designation area error The bit corresponding to the connected GT in the connected GT designation area. Token error The bit in the connected GT designation area corresponding to the station number of the connected GT is not on. Check the connected GT designation area. **20FF There is a GT unresponsive to the token. When the error code is indicated for a certain period of time after the power supply turned on.: 1. The timings for turning on multiple GT units are different. Arrange the wiring that enables the power supplies to be simultaneously turned on. 2. The screen displays for all GT units have not completed. The error code disappears when the screen displays for all GT units have completed. 3. The settings for the startup screen display vary. Make the same setting for all the connected GT units. When the error code is always indicated: 1. There is an unconnected or faulty GT. Check if there is a GT indicating [**20FF]. Reconnect the GT, or turn off the bit in the connected GT designation area. 2. The communication parameters are not specified correctly. Check the baud rate and transmission format for the GT. 3. The same station number is used for more than one GT units. Check the station number setting of the connected GT units. 4. Another GT is reading a SD card. The indication disappears when reading the SD card has completed. 6-22 Chapter 7 Troubleshooting 7.1 What to DO If Something Unusual Occurs (GT01/GT11/ GT21) Problem Screen is Cause Solution 1) Power is not on. 1) Supply the power supply to unit as per 2) (When only lamp and message parts are 2) Check the address of the substitute reference blank specifications. configured to the base screen) Value of device and the device values on the PLC side. substitute reference device value does not exist in substitute data.
